Get a fun ICE manual now while there’s options.
That's my perspective and I'd be very concerned about the weight and lack of sound killing what makes a Mini special. I casually brought up the car today and almost expected her to say "oh, never mind. It was a crazy idea." But nope, she said she really did like it. She is busy working today (crazy year for her) but we'll need to chat more if this is real and she really wants it.

Now I have to think about logistics for where to park cars if the fleet expands to 5.

I'll need to start making room in the back garage because in bad winter weather (especially this winter when there are only two drivers) it would only make sense for both convertibles to be back there.
